I just think they put in the Manny reference for comic effect, and Ashley just kind of laughed it off. It wasn't positive in any sense. Craig knows he screwed up by not wearing a condom. It's much better that he cared enough to be prepared.


Woot! That's an excellent countdown to number one. I forgot my #1, probably because my top 5s were all number ones in my book.

What else? Oh, fic should be up later today.

I'm amazed at all the work you guys put in. Beautiful!

Oh, and I like the "smother in sweat" suggestion.

[Pickle-weasel!]

Aww first, I loved the video The clips fit so perfect, and you used the best moments.

Second, the list! Awesome, I think that would have been my #1 but I didn't vote oh well.

Can't wait to read the fic

[Yellow n Blue402]

Diana you don't know how awesome you are!

I didn't vote but my #1 moment would be the hospital scene, hands down. It represents everything about Crash, very symbolic.

I had an icon made at DB for this thread. BeautifulMistakex made it, if you guys want to use it.

And yeah I think the writer threw that comment in as a joke and some follow up. It doesn't mean that Craig was still longing for Manny as some Cranny fans like to believe.

[watchmebleed]

Aww, Kathy the icon is sooo cute!!! I might have to use it later since I'm a sucker for anything to do with HF (Ash in this case).

Actually, now that I really think about it...Ash probably didn't even know exactly what he meant...I mean she knew Manny got preggers but I would think that's about it...so yeah, I think it was just thrown in there just cause.

So, since we're in our 50th thread, time for a "50" themed question...
Where do you think Crash will be in 50 years (besides old ),what will their life be/have been like?

[Pickle-weasel!]

Aww I can't see Kathy's icon yet

Oh and Nikki, when you get a chance, do you want to add the top 50 Crash moments to the front post?

Hmm, I think they will be realaxing, I can see them spending time after there kids get out of the house with traveling and such, just being in each other's company but in 50 years I see them living in a small little house, on the coast of the ocean, maybe like in BC or something, and just having a slow life, where there grand-kids come and visit and they spoil them like crazy. I see them living a hectic life up until that point so they just want to relax now and be around friends and family, they might even move close to wherever their kids are.

[Yellow n Blue402]

I think we should get rid of the reasons list and start coming up with a new one soon. Its making the front post way longer then it should be.

Here is my icon, hopefully you can see this Ria:


As for Diana's question, I think Crash will be married after a longgggg road. They will of gone through different marriages and possible even have kids with them. Basically I see them living like Johhny Cash and June Carter haha. They finally marry each other and have a kid of their own. But even in 50 years I still think it won't be an easy relationship for them, they might have it better from when they were in HS but I still think it won't be perfect. Which is how Crash is, they'll grow old and live happily together, though.

Yes, it is a funny moment. It was a reference to Manny, but nothing to oh and ah over. It's actually kind of insulting to her when you compare Cranny and Crash's first time. And I think Craig is very haunted by that mistake - which is why he brings it up again in BATM. Even though he was fullblown bipolar in VC, Craig managed to think of everything to make her time perfect.

Where do you think Crash will be in 50 years (besides old ),what will their life be/have been like?
Yeah, I agree that it won't be all that easy. But I hope that once they realize that they are getting older, they will chill out and just sit back and let stuff happen and deal with it all. And for some weird reason, I can see Ashley being a crazy old lady who runs around having fun and Craig just wants to sit on the front porch and sleep.

[Mayberry]

Ha, Craig will be all partied out by then. But I can see them in a more laid-back community, while their grandkids run wild and they can reminisce about all the ups and downs they had as teenagers.

I added the Top 50. I'll add those as well, Ria.

The last bit of the fic is up. It has a lot of moments I enjoyed writing, but it's probably not as good as their BIG moment last chapter. Oh well, it's the holiday.

Lissa, is there a way you could put the video on yousendit?

[watchmebleed]

Okay, well I'm with Ria with the more happy scenario! Or I guess I should say idealistic. Anyway, naturally as everyone else I see them being married and having kids and grandkids (aww! ). Does anyone else see them still playing music? I can see them like sitting on their porch and Craig strumming his guitar and Ash breaking out the keyboard occasionally! haha (actually they'd probably have a piano that she could play)
Ah, Ria how cool of you! Thanks for doing that!
Aw, so this is the last chapter Nikki? *sniff*
oh, and random fact: people speculate that Vincent Van Gogh was bipolar...I just thought of it cause I have a poster of Starry Night in my room and the whole Craig bipolar talk!

[Yellow n Blue402]

Awww Nikki that was so sweet! I'm betting anything next season that Craig and Ellie will come to watch and support Ashley graduate...as friends. The former is one thing I'm sure of next season. I think Craig will congradulate Manny and give her flowers or something (don't think they'll be together when she graduates) but I see the focus being more Craig-Ashley-Ellie.

But that chapter! I loved how Craig was so excited for her.

[kaleidocat]

Yep, Craig will be partied out by then. I bet he's going to be veeeerrrry protective of his daughters too. And Ashley will be reminded of Kate and say "Craig, why don't you just let the girls have some fun?" And Craig will typically say "You don't know what that teenage boy is thinking!"

Van Gogh probably was bipolar. Crazy painters. I've read a few articles that claim that artists naturally have a bit of that bipolarness.

[smart@ss]

Both VCs are on The-N tonight. That network totally loves CrAsh; I've seen almost all their episodes on there. I've barely seen any Cranny

[watchmebleed]

Yeah, I think VC is The-Ns fave episode!! Glad you were able to catch most of the Crash eps through them though!
Okay, Nikki I'm about to read the rest of the fic...but did you update two chapters at once or have I just been WAY out of the loop? Anyway, either way yay! Two chapters!!

Originally Posted by Nicole Van Gogh probably was bipolar. Crazy painters. I've read a few articles that claim that artists naturally have a bit of that bipolarness.

I can see how that could be true!

[Mayberry]

There's two chapters. Sorry that was confusing. The epilogue wasn't supposed to be there at first, but then I added it.

I love Starry Night, and yeah, I can see Van Gogh as someone who was bipolar.
